Obama should call out GOP Congress

Obama is known for great speeches, both delivery and content, so he should be a help in getting out the vote. Republicans hate him, so some of them who might otherwise stay home will also be energized to vote, but there are going to be far fewer than those he can get out for Democrats.

Obama’s speeches should attack Trump and link how the audience's Republican candidates for the Senate and House have reacted to Trump. He could talk about China’s $400 million loan to a Trump brand property in Indonesia. Just days after the loan, Trump dropped much of the penalties on the Chinese high tech company ZTE, yet Republicans in Congress have called no hearings. Had Obama done anything even close, hearings would still be going on.

Obama might also mention that Trump’s secret plan to quickly destroy ISIS (which has been weakened but not destroyed) turned out to be: Let the generals decide. There were zero questions from Congress.

Trump’s attacks on our allies, especially Canada with whom there is a positive trade cash flow into the U.S., may ring well in Midwest states, if there were no objections (I know of none) by the audience's congressional representatives.

And then there have been just a few whitewash hearings on Russian interference with the 2016 election while Trump and much of his Republican Congress want a shutdown of Mueller even as indictments and guilty pleas roll out.
